About Us
Sustain With Me
Sustainable, Ecological Landscapes
Our Philosophy
At Sustain with Me Landscapes, we believe that every outdoor space should be a reflection of the people who use it – beautiful, sustainable and full of life. As a woman-owned business base in the East Bay, we’re passionate about creating custom designs that not only enhance your surroundings, but also benefit the environment.
We focus on crafting landscapes that are as functional as they are beautiful, with an emphasis on sustainability and local biodiversity. By incorporating native plants that thrive in our climate, we help support wildlife and restore harmony to the local ecosystem. Whether it’s through an edible garden that empowers you to take control of your food choices or water conservation strategies that reduce your carbon footprint, we are dedicated to giving you the tools to live in greater alignment with the Earth.
As environmental educators, we are committed to making eco-friendly gardening techniques accessible to all. We believe in inspiring future generations to connect with nature and embrace practices that nurture the world around us. At the heart of our work is a deep respect for the land, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to supporting our clients in living more sustainably – one garden at a time.
Meet the Team
Amelia Greenland, Founder
I am a biologist, educator, mother, and licensed landscape contractor with a deep passion for regenerative landscape design. I founded Sustain With Me Landscapes to help families reconnect with their outdoor spaces—not just as beautiful East Bay landscapes, but as places for learning, resilience, and self-sufficiency.
Before launching this business, I spent six years teaching science, with a strong focus on food justice and sustainability. That same mission drives my work today. I believe that gardens should nourish both people and the planet, which is why we prioritize edible plants, California natives, and climate-conscious design. By using water-saving techniques, recycled materials, and habitat-friendly plant choices, we create landscapes that support biodiversity while thriving in California’s unique environment.
As a mother and woman business owner, I understand the importance of functional, family-friendly spaces that bring people together. Whether it’s a backyard food forest, a pollinator haven, or a drought-resilient retreat, my goal is to design landscapes that are not only sustainable but also deeply personal and enriching for those who live in them.
Let’s grow something beautiful—together.

"From design, aesthetic implementation, and use of high end sustainable, environmentally friendlly materials, Sustain With Me Landscape is such an appropriate name for this small woman-owned run landscape business. Amelia, the owner, gave a very clear breakdown of the cost for the job which consisted of prep work, landscape materials, irrigation system, and debris removal. She was available to answer all my concerns. She was very collaborative and helped clarify my vision. Kirt and Lucano, the crew, did a wonderful job, and suggested some minor changes concerning the edging between the grass and planting area that were logical as well as pleasing in appearance. They were punctual, worked hard-no wasted time, and cleaned up really well after the end of the day. Kirt built a beautiful redwood planter box on site that was ergonomically designed. I highly recommend Sustain With Me!"
